Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical Trial[Effect of arterial blood pressure on cerebral vein oxygen saturation in the rewarming phase of extracorporeal circulation].
This study concerns the effects of elevated mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) on decreases in jugular bulb oxygen saturation (SjO2) using fiberoptic jugular bulb oximetry and on cerebral blood flow velocity measured by transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). ⋯ The present data show decreases in Sjo2 during rewarming regardless to the level of arterial blood pressure (range 55-80 mmHg). This suggests that desaturation during rewarming of CPB is not a function of decreases in MAP since CBF autoregulation appears to be maintained within this pressure range.

Review[Prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting with 5-HT3-receptor blockers].
Since there continues to be a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting associated with many types of surgery, and the standard antiemetics often do not achieve satisfactory results, there have been attempts to use the 5-HT3 antagonists. This group of substances is relatively new, but has already been used successfully as an antiemetic during chemotherapy. To date, results are on hand for four different 5-HT3 receptor blockers: ondansetron, tropisetron, granisetron and dolasetron. ⋯ The entire group is well tolerated: only occasional and minor side effects have been reported. Even though not all the hopes originally set in the 5-HT3 group of antagonists have been fulfilled, progress has nevertheless been achieved. Especially noteworthy points are a positive cost-effectiveness relationship of these drugs and their appropriate use in case of the proper indications.
